September 20, 2016

This past weekend, a plethora of amazing artists took over Burlington, NJ!!!

The first ever 'Artistacon' event, co-founded by Chris Kotsakis and Enrico Botta, is a new kind of convention which brings together today's leading artists of a variety of genres, to lecture on symposiums relevant to anyone interested in getting into the combining the technical, creative, and business sides of the artistic worlds.

Artists of all levels were welcome to lectures dealing with creative entrepreneurship, visual storytelling, self-publishing a novel, among many other topics, and RSAR artist David Palumbo had the pleasure of being invited to lecture as a Guest of Honor in this excellent event. David taught an insightful symposium revolving around 'Reference Photography for the Artist', which, if you've ever wondered just how David creates incredible narratives, juxtaposing mystery realism with imagined subjects and worlds, this lecture gave you a sneak peek into his process (...and really, I mean a seriously big sneak peek because this lesson was PACKED with knowledge!)

You have two more chances in the near future to learn ya a thing or two about the art world and catch David in the North East!

> (Reading, PA) Illuxcon 9 October 19th-23rd

D. Palumbo lecturing on "Reference Photography for the Artist"

And after a successful lecture, RSAR artist David Palumbo looking giddy!

“It’s not that we thought the cons needed to be
improved, or that we wanted to go deeper into the business side,”
Kotsakis said. “But, while hanging around Artist’s Alleys (areas
dedicated to artists showing their work), we began noticing that more
and more people seemed curious about how to break into the industry and
were looking for some first-hand tips of the trade.“Our
thought was, ‘Maybe we could put on a con to help young artists and
designers develop their skills and passions,’” he explained.So,
instead of simply browsing the aisles and booths to discover the
newest products, guests of this comic con could actually learn about the
process." - Jersey Arts

- Phoebe Philo

Paul Cox

"Fashion is about good energy. It's about feelings. That's what I have to give the people, good energy and good feelings."

- Adriana Lima

Leonard Peng

- Carine Roitfeld

Guy Stauber

"I still appreciate individuality. Style is much more interesting than fashion, really."

- DJ Ruby Rhod, The Fifth Element

Maciej Frolow

"Elegance is usually confused with superficiality, fashion, lack of depth. This is a serious mistake: human beings need to have elegance in their actions and in their posture because this word is synonymous with good taste, amiability, equilibrium and harmony."

- Paulo Coelho

Tim Bower

"They know they're going to look beautiful, and I don't think women should look like costumes. They shouldn't look like fashion victims."

Niklas Asker

- Giambattista Valli

David Johnson

Tyler Jacobson

"I see that the fashion wears out more apparel than the man."

- Nina Garcia

Jason Seiler

"The concept of commercialism in the fashion and art world is looked down upon. You know, just to think, 'What amount of creativity does it take to make something that masses of people like?' And, 'How does creativity apply across the board?'"

- Kanye West

Ricardo Martinez

"I love fashion and there is no easier way to express yourself than through the clothes you wear."
